A very unfortunate accident!

One poor Erna Low client hadn’t even made it to the slopes before breaking his leg….he had only booked his holiday to Valfrejus Residence Le Cheval Blanc for the 11th February last Monday and by Friday he had a broken leg!  How unfortunate is that for a spot of bad luck!?!

But our lovely client was so impressed with our service he is now advertising Erna Low on his cast!  Sadly, there will be no skiing this season for him, but he promises to come back to us fighting fit for next winter!

Viewing the Alps from a sunnier side…

Victoria and Georgina from our admin and sales team explore the Maurienne Valley in the July sun…

Bright and early on the 9th July we met at St Pancras International to catch the Eurostar to Paris then on to Chambery via SNCF.  Once in Chambery we transferred to the beautiful Chateau des Comtes de Challes set in the hills above the city where we tasted and learnt about the local Savoie wines.

After a comfortable evening we ventured an hour into the Alps to the resort of Valloire.  Here we viewed the mountain biking trails and hiked to Les 3 Lacs after a sumptuous mountain lunch which had panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

The evening was spent at the Lagrange Prestige residence, Les Chalets du Galibier where we tested out the spa facilities and relaxed after a hard day’s work!

The next day we ventured further into the Maurienne Valley taking in the historic forts in Aussois and then headed on passed Valfrejus, La Norma and Termingnon La Vanoise until we reached the traditional village of Bonneval sur Arc where we devoured a healthy tartiflette!  To work off all those calories we went for a mountain stroll and then departed to Val Cenis.  Here we visited Les Alpages de Val Cenis where once again we felt it was our duty to try out the spa facilities and restaurant.

Fancy a dip?

After our short but action packed trip to the Maurienne Valley we can thoroughly recommend the area for both summer and winter activities which offer a very traditional alpine atmosphere. 

Many thanks to ABTOF, Savoie Mont Blanc tourist board and Rail Europe for arranging an unforgettable experience.
